So FH potentially has a trial starting two days after the wedding in June :-( and then July marks the official Hurricane season for the caribbean...July-Sept. is also the busiest months for FH work wise. I'm considering booking the honeymoon for the end of May, before the wedding. That just sounds so much better than waiting until Oct or Nov to take it. I'm sure this will be another thing Nana, Mom and FMIL will love to raise their eyebrows over but....whattya think?

I wouldn't… not because of the tradition of it, but for your sanity. If you go before your wedding instead of relaxing and enjoying yourself you'll be thinking about the details of the wedding. The honeymoon should be a time where you can put the stress of planning & of life behind you and have a vacation. I'd consider an alternate destination~

Yeah, after six years together it just seems a vacation is a vacation however and whenever we can get it. Seems like if we wait 5 months to go, the whole "we JUST got married" thing will have worn off a bit anyway. :::pouts::: I don't wanna wait 5 months!!

@MsL. I have to agree with the other ladies. Nothing like relaxing for a few days after the wedding and just getting away. You are in Cali right? You could do Disney for a few days, head up to Tahoe, wine country, Seattle, Vegas Baby!! I think that if you do a few days away you will get that decompress time that you need (plus give FS time to ramp up for his stupid trial) We did Punta Cana in the DR in October and it was AWESOME! You tell them that you are on your honeymoon and they make it a big deal. While we were on ours we met a couple who had gotten married in May, and they were loving every min of being a newlywed on their honeymoon!!
